Show JEROME LOSES POSITION. Nemesis of Harry K. Thaw Dismissed by Attorney General. New York. William Travers Jerome, Je-rome, for nearly nine years known as Harry Kendall Thaw's Nemesis, was removed from his position of special deputy attorney general of the state of New York on Tuesday by Attorney General Egburt E. Woodbury and at once ceased his fight to have Thaw sent back to Matteawan. Just why Jerome was removed is open to much conjecture. ' Jerome says that he was tired of the case; shrank from the publicity it entailed and had grown sensitive to the calumny cal-umny of the crowds who cheered Thaw as a persecuted hero and hooted hoot-ed his prosecutor as a little old man of the sea. |
